Wondee,
I think you are overreaching with Wharton, CBS, HBS, Stanford, and Chicago because you don't appear to have leadership and your community profile seems weak. Your odds are somewhat better at MIT and NYU and significantly better at Cornell and CMU, but leadership and community will be areas of concern at all these schools.
Good luck,
